Flow Performance Flow Bench Kits are assembled, tested, and initially calibrated before shipping to you. If you have purchased a Flow Performance flow bench kit, your FP1 electronic processor is already set up to start flow testing. You do not have to worry about all the settings that can be made to the FP1 electronic processor. However, it would be a good idea to look over the FP1 documents to get an idea of how it works and how to make any adjustments.
